About SideTracked

We have Motorway Mayhem. We have A-Road Anarchy (cos there aren’t many Motorways in Wales!). But what about public transport users? SideTracked Caches are intended to provide quick Cache-and-dashes at Train Stations.

Moseley railway station Moseley, Birmingham, England, operated from 1867 to 1941. It was opened by the Midland Railway on the Camp Hill Line. A previously named Moseley station on the same line changed its name to Kings Heath station upon the opening of the station. From 1923, the station was operated by the London Midland and Scottish Railway.

In 2007 there were proposals to reopen the station and to resume local passenger services along the Camp Hill line, in which case the station would be served by trains between Birmingham Moor Street and Kings Norton railway station. In 2013 the proposal was shelved indefinitely.

In 2016, the newly created West Midlands Combined Authority, revived the plans to restore local passenger services to the line, and declared it one of their priority transport schemes to be delivered by 2025.

About the cache

You are looking for a well hidden cache at street level near to the site of the former station. The location is accessable by wheelchair but may be a bit of a reach to retrieve the cache. The area was very busy with passers by when I was putting in the cache, so watch out for muggles!
